Tom Gullikson is a tennis coach and former professional tennis player.

During his career as a player, Tom won 16 top-level doubles titles ? ten of them partnering his identical twin brother, Tim Gullikson. The brothers were runners-up in the men’s doubles competition at Wimbledon in 1983. Tom also won the mixed doubles title at the US Open in 1984, partnering Manuela Maleeva.

Tom won one top-level singles title (at Newport in 1985). His career-high rankings were World No. 34 in singles and World No. 9 in doubles (both in 1984). He retired from the professional tour in 1987.

After retiring as a player, Tom became one of the original members of the United States Tennis Association Player Development Program, coaching players such as Todd Martin, Jennifer Capriati and Andy Roddick. He served as Director of Coaching for the program from 1997 to 2001. In 1996, Tom was coach of the US men’s Olympic tennis team, and guided Andre Agassi to winning the Olympic Gold Medal in Atlanta.
